Artell: "Still A Bit Of Business To Be Done"

22 June 2018

David Artell has told crewealex.net that he is ‘calm and relaxed’ about his summer planning after reassuring youngsters, James Jones, Callum Ainley and Charlie Kirk to re-sign for the club, as well as adding Paul Green and Shaun Miller on permanent contracts.

The Alex staff are working tirelessly behind the scenes to strength the full-back department to free up the possible versatility of Perry Ng and Harry Pickering to operate in different positions if needs be.

Artell would like to bolster his options with a right and left back and says that the deals will be done in readiness for Morecambe on 4th August.

Artell told us: “I am happy with what we have been able to do so far, but there is always room for improvement. I could do with Ronaldo or Harry Kane if their available, but in all seriousness we would be okay if the season kicked off tomorrow.

The boss added: “I would like to bring in a couple more. There is a bit of business to be done yet and it will get done, but at this moment in time I am comfortable with it. We still have time on our side and we will continue to follow up what we have already started.”
